It uses the [[ikiwiki/markdown]] minimal markup language. This is the standard markup language used by ikiwiki, although some others are also available in other plugins. + +There are several implementations of markdown support that can be used by +this plugin. In order of preference: + +* [Discount](http://www.pell.portland.or.us/~orc/Code/discount/), + via the [[!cpan Text::Markdown::Discount]] perl module. +* The [[!cpan Text::Markdown]] perl module. +* The [original version of markdown](http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/). + +[[!cpan Text::MultiMarkdown]] can be used in order to use tables, footnotes, +and other new features from the markdown variant called +[multimarkdown](http://fletcherpenney.net/MultiMarkdown/). Multimarkdown is +not enabled by default, but can be turned on via the `multimarkdown` option +in the setup file. Note that multimarkdown's metadata and wikilinks +features are disabled when it's used with ikiwiki.
